Three of us had a ridiculously delicious meal at Anafre, a Mexican place which is both traditional and willing to play around with that tradition. As a bonus, the prices and portions here seem from another era.
We got three dishes:
Queso Fundido with Chorizo and Shrimp
Mole Poblano Pizza
Pork in Salsa Verde ( name is listed differently on the menu)
The pork would be the star attraction of any meal. Luscious with complex flavors and a kick. Made from a special kind of somewhat mild pepper, though I forget the name. Everything about this was hitting on all cylinders:
The queso fundido was melty and stringy, helped by the soft and supple ground sausage:
And lastly, although this pizza has no structural integrity, it still managed to be very delicious. Probably too much sauce and had rectangular blocks of chicken that were unwieldy. The combo of crust, mole, and cilantro with onions made it sing out:
It was very hard ot choose form this very enticing menu. But I am already thinking about my return.
